Felt like a lot of questions to answer all of them. FAS question was worth too little for the amount of work it needed. I was surprised by the options expense question but it wasn't hard. I was also surprised by the question on IAS 19 as revised but probably shouldn't have been.

What do you all think?

The public pension question tripped me up a bit. I'm not confident I scored highly on that one. I spoke about intergenerational transfer of risk by investing in equities, and the fact that future contributions would likely be needed to fund future accruals and inflation indexing (unless benefits frozen).

Agree on FAS question, I would have liked a more complicated accounting problem worth more points. As it was, that was a lot of work for just 5 points.

General theme of the exam seemed to be writing long responses for just a handful of points.
